If you had a big win on the lotty, how would you spend it?

Small Bungalow near the sea. Give a chunk to some cat sanctuary.

Buy a vintage classic car & spend the rest of my time restoring it


Stopped doing the lottery when they added more numbers.

I got  this all planned out already.

I'd take the QM 2 to New York, book into the Waldorf Astoria for a week. Then take the train down to Florida Keys, have a few days there. Then take a boat out to the islands, St Kitts probably, and take up residence in a suite at the Marriot there whilst I pondered my next move.

I'm in a syndicate  so if it comes in I'll only get one eighteenth of it. Still more than enough though.

Big house in Cyprus, electric gates, electric fence, sorted.

I'd give most of it away. Maybe buy a small flat in London.

Not very good when temptation beckons me. So I would rather just have enough to get by on, with some left over to spoil myself occasionally.

Animal charities for me too. Beyond a million, I wouldn’t need the money. I think I’d try and find a way of using the money to generate further undo for them rather than just donating. A property based trust would be most likely unless I got more lucrative advice.

House for us, houses for the kids. Place on the board of Plymouth Argyle, a few nice cars. Charity support.

I would tell no one. Id get up one morning & dissapear on holiday to plan my next move, but would never return, would not even bother moving out, leave everything except my passport.

The aristocrat's choice.

I thought prostitutes went without saying, well at least for us singles. Don't know how broad minded forum members wives are on here.    Good luck to all who play the lottery tomorrow night.

Keep it quiet, spend it slowly, gift plenty to people without them knowing, pay off the mortgages of people I work with, start a turntable company, learn how to build cartridges at Lyra, buy the house over the road with the bone dry full size 12 foot ceiling cellar and do it up. Buy property and do that up as a hobby.

Macca:
Id have though sticking everything in one bank account would be playing with fire a tad.

You would never know with me, I would still dress like a tramp, certainly would not change my ways. No way would i buy all the stupid material things that people cant help themselves buying when they win big money. Stilll be Old Equipment & an old car.. 

One thing. Do not use a bank in the village or town you live in, cos word will get out

Yeah I would not dress different or be buying a load of tat. Would buy a big house though and a lot more hi-fi just for the hell of it.

I would probably keep a few mill as oersonal slush money and the rest I would put into creating various institutes for young people to learn new skills, which sadly today's shite education system fails them badly on. For a start they would actually be compelled to learn the English language, how to read and write it properly, dropping their awful text speak spelling and grammar.

I will make some donations to animal charities and the others can go whistle. Not that they are not equally worthy causes, but for the fact that once these bastids have your name address and phone number they will plague you on a daily basis wanting more money, no matter how much you give them.

It had crossed my mind to buy a big house and run a high end hi-fi sales operation from there, but do I really want the hassle of dealing with people day in and day out? Not really. I might buy a big RV and cruise around europe until I got bored with it, but enjoy the freedom and the sheer pleasure of not having to watch the pennies would be liberating for sure.
